>> -- spree. at this point five people are confirmed dead, including the suspect. bodies have been found in hercules, richmond and vallejo, bomb squad units are at two locations. claudine wong starts our coverage in vallejo. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. we have moved over. we are in the yard next to a storage facility. you can see behind me the bomb squad here working a storage locker. we are told by our police sources that this is all related to this case. the bomb squad actually has two locations in vallejo they are trying to get to. they are trying to process this one and one on upland court. that one is secondary. we were just over on upland court and that is where police say the bodies of two women were found overnight. the husband of one of those women has been taken into custody. and those details are still

unfolding. these women were reported missing last wednesday. 60-year-old carol smart and her friend 67-year-old deana allen. it was ellen who actually knew the suspect that people have been talking about in this case. because he according to family members stayed at the home and sometimes passed himself off as her son. they have been missing again since last wednesday and the confusion has been how they have been all connected to this other case in hercules. so a lot of details unfolding but again what is happening here at this hour is that police have tracked down these two different locations. one -- and both of them are the focus of the bomb squad. obviously a lot of details we are working through but all this came to light overnight as well, that is when this deadly police chase took place across a couple of different counties in the bay area. it ended in the east bay, that

is where kraig debro is standing by now. >> reporter: good morning, claudine. i am in richmond. behind me a car is being towed away. that is the suspect's car. there was a big release of sense after police searched this vehicle. they seem to be pulling back. they nt whatted to search the suspect's vehicle after having information that explosives were at a property controlled by by ed by the suspect in vallejo. he had a fight with them. police spotted him and a chase began. chp took over and chased him on 680 to 580 to 880. chase speeds reached up to 100

miles an hour. at one point the suspect's vehicle blew at least one tire yet he continued racing here to the ranch market. chp says he got out of his car and ran into the market where he was shot and killed. >> a suspect did have a large knife and when officers gave commands for him to drop that knife he lunged at officers and which they were in fear for their lives. they discharged their firearm and which the suspect was struck and suffered fatal injuries. >> reporter: this all started last saturday when someone filed a missing person's report open two people, a father and son. when police arrived at the home in hercules they found the father, 73-year-old man, dead. police say he had been bludgeoned to death. his son is still missing. grimly as it may be with all these bodies showing up one thing they wanted to mention,

sai very important detail here. he wasn't the only person in the car. police have identified another person in the car as his girlfriend and she had been strangled to death so he can be connected by police to two murders right now. his girlfriend in the car and another man. in terms of the other two people we are not sure what that connection is. police are certainly looking at that. then we have frederick salas, still missing so up to five people now may be connected to this person who was shot and killed by police. the officers involved are put on paid administrative leave pend in the outcome of an investigation. there will be parallel investigations going on. reporting live in richmond, kraig debro, ktvu channel 2 news. >> we will continue our live team coverage of this still developing story. you can also get more

a week ago. carol smart and her friend deana allen. they are connected to this man shot and killed last night. the man also suspected of killing an elderly hercules man. family members say one of the missing women knew him. he apparently stayed at their home and sometimes passed himself as her son. the husband also said that she expressed fear and once asked him to change her locks. police have been searching for him in connection with the brutal fatal beating of anel erld hercules man -- [ inaudible ] >> -- women. now last night as part of all of this in this investigation involved him police came to the vallejo home. that is apparently when they discovered the bodies of the two women inside. sources tell us they had been there for a wheel and called

this a grizzly scene. here is the twist. allen's husband had atly been living inside this home you are looking at right now with those bodies. he is now in custody. how all this is connected well right now we are trying to connect all these dots as are the police. so the question is are the killing of these two women connected to the other homicides? we don't know and could something here help them found the other homicide victim? we don't flow that other. the one person that ties all this together is now dead. killed in that shootout following the chase. kraig debro joins us now. >> reporter: the motive is unclear. it has been 12 or so hours since his car stopped here. you can see the scene is

completely clear. just you know he got out of the car about 12 hours ago and minutes later he was shot and killed by police. about 40 minutes ago this was the scene here. a police squad searched the car looking for explosives. police received information that there could be explosives at two locations connected with or controlled by the suspect. since he was driving this car they searched it too, just in case. apparently they did not find any. now the man driving the car is now dead. he was killed following a confroptation with the chp while he was the suspect in the death of a man and the strangulation dit of an unidentified woman found in the car last night. following a high speed chase now police say they had a fight last week. last night pleasant hill police spotted his vehicle and gave chase. they backed off when the vehicle entered the freeway. at 8:10 the chp took over and
